This verse was brought up by Beth Moore in a study I am doing right now and it has been ringing through my ears (along with that stupid fox song), ever since she talked about it. Her comment was basically that God chose us and adopted us into His family by sending Jesus to die on the cross and forgive our sins. God CHOSE us to be his children. He ADOPTED us into His family for His good. To be His heir. Many women say they became pregnant "by accident", but has anyone ever adopted "by accident"? I am pretty confident that the answer is no. This is not a process for the faint of heart. Every aspect of your life is documented and closely examined. You have to open up your feelings, your story in Christ, your home to judgement as to whether you can parent another child. We are so blessed with family, friends, and a church that has vouched for us, that we are capable to love another child (with special needs even!). I praise God for all the signs and for the courage to go through with all this!
We are getting so close to our first trip. I just found out our Dossier (packet of applications) has been sent to B!!!! All we need is for them to get it, approve it, and give us a travel date to go see her!!! It is surreal to think how close we are! I have relied on God to keep me patient and I will continue, but I am so excited to meet this little girl I have been staring at pictures of for almost 8 months!
Please keep prayers coming for us, especially financially, as this is getting expensive!! She is well worth every dime!
